TOOLING OPTIONS AND INSTALLATION
MOLE SHANK ASSEMBLY
The mole shank assembly provides benefits to maximize strip-till soil management. The
foot piece shatters the root zone compacted layer to increase soil porosity, reduce run
off, and allow root systems to utilize deeper soil moisture and nutrients.
NOTE: A depth indicator allows for uniform mole shank assembly depth between row
units. Depth indicator decal does not reflect actual tillage depth. Use depth indicator
decal as a tool to achieve uniform depth across the implement.
Fertilizer tube(s) allow precision fertilizer placement at two depths,
if desired. Precision fertilizer placement provides crop plants with
timely fertilizer access to maximize development from germination
through maturity.
If combining strip-tillage and planting operations with a Combo Caddy or attachment
package, lateral offset of the
1tRIP
row unit relative to seed placement is recommended
to allow fertilizer placement without detriment to seed germination.
NOTE: Refer to (pg. 4 - 4) for mole shank assembly installation instructions. Refer to (pg.
4 - 5) for fertilizer tube installation instructions.
Shin cap may not be included or fit on later model machines due to footpiece design.
